Sonal Adhesives Ltd files SEBI takeover disclosure for Megha Arora

What Sonal Adhesives Ltd announced

On 23 June 2026, Sonal Adhesives Ltd (BSE: 526901) filed a disclosure under Regulation 29(1) and 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares & Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The filing pertains to an acquisition of shares by Megha Arora. The submission satisfies the statutory requirement to inform the market when a party acquires a stake that meets the threshold for a substantial acquisition.

"The Exchange has received the disclosure under Regulation 29(1) & 29(2) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011 for Megha Arora."

The brief filing does not provide quantitative details such as the number of shares acquired, the percentage of total equity, or the consideration paid.

Disclosure under SEBI Regulation 29

Regulation 29 mandates that any person acquiring shares which, either individually or acting in concert, results in holding 5 % or more of a listed company's equity, must file a disclosure with the stock exchange within two trading days. The filing must include:

• Name of the acquirer (Megha Arora)
• Number of shares acquired
• Percentage of total equity held post‑acquisition
• Consideration paid (if any)
• Any agreements or arrangements related to the acquisition

In this case, Sonal Adhesives has only confirmed receipt of the disclosure; the detailed schedule is expected to be released in a subsequent filing, as is common practice.
